====== Connection Warning: Unable to Reach Required Services ======

Sometimes, you may see one of the following warnings when using our app:

- Uh-oh! We couldn’t reach these services…

- Whoops — the request to [domain] took longer than 10 seconds and timed out.

These messages appear when your device tries to connect but receives no response. Common causes:

- A firewall silently blocking outgoing requests.

- Internet connection issues causing the app to hang.

===== Why This Happens =====

Firewall Blocking Requests:
Some networks (like schools or offices) drop traffic to unfamiliar domains without telling the browser, causing the request to hang until it times out.

Network Instability:
Sometimes, dropped Wi-Fi or VPN interruptions cause similar behavior.

===== How to Fix It =====

1. Open https://example.com to check your internet connection.

2. Ask your network administrator to whitelist these domains:
   - beta.codemarty.com
   - marty-webapp.web.app
   - updates.robotical.io
   - martyblocks-projects-default-rtdb.europe-west1.firebasedatabase.app
   - synthesis-service.scratch.mit.edu
   - translate-service.scratch.mit.edu
   - stretch3.github.io
   - assets.scratch.mit.edu
   - storage.googleapis.com

3. After whitelisting, reload the app.
